You know, for an Administration that campaigned on “Transparency,” there sure seems to be a whole lot of opaqueness when it comes to Obama and those who pushed him to prominence. Take, for example, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. He has some mighty interesting Connections, as this article highlights, The Ties That Bind. Remember [...]

I have never understood this whole meme about how even-keeled Obama is, how eloquent, how brilliant, how “likeable,” how “unflappable,” blah, blah, blah. All evidence to the contrary does not seem to sway our “intrepid” media. Fortunately, though, some people (besides us) are seeing Obama for who he is as this article highlights (h/t to [...]

ACORN’s Leader, Bertha Lewis, recently spoke to a group of young people. Her talk, excerpts below, was mighty interesting: Holy moley, did you catch all of that? Let’s see: Socialism, Check! Demean Tea Party members, Check! And on it goes. Perhaps it was because of this speech that ACORN’s funds are once again on hold, [...]

I know, I know, that could be any number of things. Obama has, as many of us knew he would, morphed into George W. Bush. Not that his followers will ever admit it, but those of us in the “reality-based community” clearly see who he really is. Just look at his recent flip flopping backtrack [...]

So Mr. Transparency and his Pelosi-led crew have been mighty busy over the past couple of weeks. Okay, okay, his entire presidency thus far. But the past couple of weeks have been particularly bad. First there was the whole health care bill rammed down our throats. But also inside that Health Care bill was a [...]

In light of the recent Health Care vote, the Tea Party marches, and the current sentiment in the country, I found this article by Peggy Noonan to be particularly timely: The Heat Is On. We May Get Burned. Political rage is a national problem, not a partisan one. So where are we? In a dangerous [...]

Or is it? Much has been made of late about the national office of ACORN shutting down, on April 1st, no less. Yes, that is a bit telling in and of itself. Hence this article, ACORN SWAP?. That pretty much sets the tone: ACORN, the embattled community activist group, says it is disbanding. The group, [...]

If you mean the White House and some unions, the answer would be a resounding, YES! W.H., Labor To Vote-Switchers: We Won’t Forget. You may recall that I wrote about this very real possibility recently in, “Toddler in Chief Throws A Temper Tantrum,” based on a story from The Telegraph (U.K.). Now, it seems, not [...]

Is still a nut. You may have heard that ACORN, the group which has received millions of taxpayer dollars, and has misused millions of taxpayer dollars, is restructuring. Along with that comes a name change, to COI (Community Organizations International). I wonder what THAT means (the International part). I shudder to think. Here is the [...]

Like a voter scorned. Many of us are reaping the sweet rewards of, “I Told You So” with many of our Obot friends, family, and acquaintances. We did, we tried, we hoped, we cried, and nothing would sway them from the One True Messiah of Obama. Well, those days seem to be slipping away, don’t [...]

* Bumped Up * So, with all the hot water many Democrats are in now, aided by the new book, Game Change, no doubt the fundraising calls will get more and more insistent. They have to overcome not just what was in the book, but stories like this from the Washington Post, “Sen. Reid and [...]

* Bumped up from January 7, 2010. * I love John Kass of the Chicago Tribune. He is one of the very, very few columnists who tried to warn us about Obama, Obama’s record (or lack thereof), how he came to be a Senator, and all about Chicago Politics. Simply put, he was a voice [...]

* Bumped up * To the Health Care Industry, Big Pharma, and a few select states. Yes, in the wee hours of the morning (okay, 7:00 a.m.), the Senate voted to pass the Health-Care-less-what-the-people-and-physicians-say Bill. Oh, yes – what a banner day. The Senate rammed through a bill so fraught with problems it would be [...]

And that would be lobbyists. Yes, the group singled out repeatedly by President Obama when he was Candidate Obama is having one of their best years EVER. Apparently, the agenda of the Democrats is really helping them out. Oh, yay! Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Yeah, me, too. Here Obama [...]

My senator, Lindsey Graham, has been hot under the collar about this Health “Care” bill, and the manner in which Ben Nelson was bought off by Harry Reid at OUR expense this past weekend. He likened it to “Chicago-style politics.” I’d be inclined to agree. Here is Senator Graham explaining his assertion: You tell ‘em, [...]
